Introduction to Perl on Windows

February 14, 2000

Although Perl may have been born and raised in the Unix universe, the world's favorite practical extraction and reporting language has had, and has had for some time, an established home on Windows.

Led by such companies as ActiveState, Perl has grown steadily since mid 1995, adding both standard Perl functionality, as well as a host of Windows-specific functionality such as OLE and COM integration.

In fact, by now, any Perl developer can feel confident that the applications she writes on UNIX-based servers will run without a hitch when moved to Windows-based servers. Even long-time porting nightmare problem cases such as the implementation of fork are being solved.

And there is reason to believe that Perl/Windows-integration will continue. That Microsoft itself is committed to supporting Perl is demonstrated by the fact that Microsoft has been a major funder of Perl on Windows development since development began. In fact, with the recent signing of a three-year funding agreement between Microsoft and ActiveState, there is no doubt Perl will be an integral part of Windows going forward.

If you are looking for more information on Perl for Windows, there are quite a few excellent sites around. The sites include the following:
